Judge a potion mix by its proportions, so two parts to one is right at any size

A mixing puzzle wants red and blue in a certain proportion. Players pour in a spoonful or a bucket, and the game must say whether the proportion is right, how close it is, and what to add. Comparing amounts directly fails, and floats make a perfect mix look slightly wrong. This entry judges with whole numbers.

Why this works

A mix is judged by how much of each part it holds relative to the whole, not by the pour itself, so the same recipe is right in a thimble or a bucket. Doing the sums with whole numbers keeps tiny rounding noise from turning a perfect mix into a near miss.

When not to use it

It is wrong when the absolute amount matters, such as a dose that is harmless in small amounts and deadly in large ones. There, check the real amount against a fixed limit as well as the proportions.
